This extraordinary documentary tells the heroic story that was all but lost to history, until now. The film recounts how WWII bicycling idol Gino Bartali, physician Giovanni Borromeo and other Italians worked with Jewish leaders and high-ranking officials of the Catholic Church, risking their lives by defying the Nazis to save thousands of Italy’s Jews.
After the film there will be an interview (via Zoom) with Vincent Marmorale, the producer of My Italian Secret and the President of Italy and the Holocaust Foundation. Sponsored by: Ulster County Italian American Heritage Foundation and Reher Center For Immigrant Culture and History.
